Strange
Best solution, of course, would be debugging LameXP on your system. But if you don't know how to do that, I could send you a "special" build with more debugging output.
Maybe we could locate the exact line where it stops responding...

Indeed I had some trouble with ThreatFire myself.
It injects its own DLL into the address space of
any running process, which
reproducible caused MSYS to crash for me
I assume you did a clean reboot after uninstalling ThreatFire?

Well, GTK+ and Qt both are cross-platform GUI frameworks. But that's it. They are two completely separate projects.
So your problems with Qt- and GTK+-based programs are most likely unrelated. However did you try other Qt-based software on your machine?
For example SMPlayer or Avidemux 2.5?
Also: Did you make a clean "format + re-install" of your system recently? This sometimes works wonders with "unexplainable" Windows bugs

Qt fully supports Windows XP and it doesn't need any special 3D hardware. There is some support for OpenGL in Qt, but I don't use that in LameXP.
After all, LameXP works fine even on my Windows 2000 machine, although Windows 2000 is
not officially supported by Qt 4.7. It even works under Linux/Wine.
